Court proceedings for individuals charged with supporting Palestine Action have been postponed, pending the government’s appeal against a High Court ruling that deemed its ban unlawful and "disproportionate". The Chief Magistrate confirmed the delay, which followed Friday’s judgment after a legal challenge brought by the group.
A number of defendants were due at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, accused of backing Palestine Action during protests held after the group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July last year. They were advised not to attend following the High Court’s decision.
